Capo 3 
 
           D5                   B5 
If I was a drinkin&#039; man like I used to be 
                 G5                   A5 
I&#039;d get myself a bottle and you&#039;d be history 
              D5                 B5 
You made me a thinkin&#039; man when you walked out 
           G5            A5                    D5 
If I was a drinkin&#039; man, I wouldn&#039;t need you now 
      G5                           D5 
I&#039;ve learned to live without you, one day at a time 
A5                               D5 
Even though you&#039;re always on my mind 
          G5                          B5 
There&#039;s a bar around the corner if I wanted to forget 
    E5                            A5          
But I ain&#039;t givin&#039; up on our love yet 
 
 
If I was a drinkin&#039; man like I used to be  
I&#039;d get myself abottle and you&#039;d be history 
You made me a thinkin&#039; man when you walked out 
If I was a drinkin&#039; man, I wouldn&#039;t need you now 
 
 
Knowin&#039; me like you do the kind of fool I&#039;ve been 
You probably think I&#039;m three sheets to the wind 
I wish that I could tell you that I&#039;m feelin&#039; no pain 
Oh you should see how much I&#039;ve changed 
 
 
If I was a drinkin&#039; man like I used to be 
I&#039;d get myself a bottle and you&#039;d be history 
You made me a thinkin&#039; man when you walked out 
If I was a drinkin&#039; man I wouldn&#039;t need you now 
If I was a drinkin&#039; man I wouldn&#039;t need you now
